“A unique and refreshing release” — Earmilk

“Stellar… an exciting and surprising release” — Popmatters

Cut Copy’s January Tape, an ambient project originally released in 2016 as a limited-edition run of 400 cassette tapes, comes to vinyl for the first time on January 28, 2023, via Cutters Records and Diggers Factory.

Dan Whitford said the project took shape after the band took a break from recording the follow-up to 2013’s Free Your Mind. “Having worked for much of the previous 12 months on a new Cut Copy album, we decided in January it was time to give ourselves a well-earned break, “Whitford stated. “But instead of retreating to the wilderness or decompressing on a beach somewhere, we spent ten days in the studio making a collection of ambient instrumental works. We wanted to share outtakes from these sessions in all their unedited glory with you.” The original cassettes are now a long-gone and are a highly coveted collector’s item.

Now with this limited vinyl release, more fans will be able to grab a hold of a physical copy of the music.

January Tape was composed and recorded by Whitford and guitarist Tim Hoey.
